That stuff on the street is just plain dumb.

This kind of nonsense also goes on at the DV Fling every year.

Its all great fun until something goes wrong. Then everyone points fingers.

There's risks involved with everything in life, it's just a matter of degree, and what decision you make being part of it.

That Pro-Mod exhibition burn out was the stupidest, most retarted thing I have ever seen. I cannot believe that out of all the people involved, not one person was smart enough to shoot the idea down for safety. The biggest culprit is the driver. I don't care how great of a human being people say he is, that was the dumbest decision of his life to agree to that. To think that a 2000hp ProMod car doing a burnout down a street is remotely safe, is just unthinkable.

As for comparing this situation to a Cobra doing a burnout, that's pretty comical in it's own right. There is a HUGE difference between a 600hp Cobra doing a burnout and a 2000hp Pro-Mod car doing a burnout. I DO agree that both are dangerous, and lots of things can go wrong when driving a car like a Cobra, but the danger level is definitely WAY lower that that of the Pro-Mod car situation.
